Thank you EVERYONE who has been sending happy thoughts. Brief update: I'm in the last of 7 weeks of active chemo and radiation treatment, then will get a good break before surgery. Radiation is a bear, but it appears to be working :-)

Joe R.:

Hey Evan - I know you've played some Milwaukee bands on the show, here's one that you might like - Tigernite.

They call their sound "glam party rock" but to me, it sounds like the kind of new wave tinged rock you might hear in late '70s AOR rock radio. Maybe like Pat Benatar when she was still playing clubs...

@JakeGould haha, my problem with the Cubs is not the team but their loathsome local "fans" that have ruined the formerly pleasant neighborhood around Wrigley. Never should have put lights in.

Uncle Michael:

The Cubs are starting four rookies. They have a chance to be the first team to ever reach the postseason doing so. Expectations for this year are already exceeded. It's time to be a little greedy.

I remember watching filmstrips in the '70s, and them often getting jammed in the projectors, which were probably pretty old at that point. And the ones with the beeps were slideshows, I think. Maybe shown via carousels...?

There was a decent filmstrip about the urgency of avoiding "syph" and "clap".

Pete from Boston (and NJ):

They won't come back. Someone will just come up with an app to take a shot every x seconds from your phone video and add scratches and beeps while retaining your sound.
